Information

One of the first songs Muse ever recorded, first appearing on the Muse EP. It was subsequently re-recorded and released as a single before featuring on Showbiz. The versions on the Muse EP and Showbiz differ.

"The idea for Cave came from that rubbish American book, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. There's this bit about how men go into a cave when they get stressed and I think that's probably true, although, personally, I tend to let it out. I did have a bit of a tantrum in my hotel bathroom last night - but I managed to repair the toilet, so that's OK."

Lyrics

Leave me alone, it's nothing serious.

I'll do it myself, it's got nought to do with you
And there's nothing you could do.

You can see it and you can almost hear it too,
You can almost taste it, it's nought to do with you
And there's still nothing that you could do.
